Big week! Honored to be inducted as an NLN Academy of Nursing Education Fellow (ANEF) & to celebrate nursing science at the National Institute for Nursing Research’s 40th Anniversary. Grateful for colleagues, students & mentors who make this work possible. #NLNSummit25 @gwnursing.bsky.social

Advocacy works. The Senate Appropriations Committee has preserved $197.7M in funding for NINR! The work continues. NINR’s 40th Anniversary Scientific Symposium: Advancing Nursing Science to Improve Health for All! Register here #Nursingscience www.ninr.nih.gov/newsandevent...

"This proposal sends a troubling message: that nursing science is expendable." --> Editorial by @adarcymahoney.bsky.social on the proposed elimination of NINR. Nurse-led research shapes policy & improves care. "Don’t fold nursing science—fund it!" journals.healio.com/doi/10.3928/...

Celebrating teaching excellence @gwu1821.bsky.social ! Proud of our @gwNURSING team for leading the way with AI integration, helping students harness technology to enhance learning and improve outcomes.

That feeling when the R01 that basically had to be re-written in the last two weeks is in! Hooray!!! @melissabaralt.bsky.social @britobabylab.bsky.social @fiu.bsky.social

We published these results in @jama.com Health Forum. Children are unifying. It's not one party or the other. It's not parents vs. non-parents, democrats vs. republicans, we care all care about kids. #putkids1st #medsky #pedsky #kids #childhealth jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Nice piece in the #Atlanta Journal Constitution. But I would go a step further, we have found that a pro-child policy agenda is bipartisan. In our national poll of child health, we found near consensus on several child policies across party lines. www.ajc.com/opinion/opin...

Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s a great review from @kff.org Re what a new Sec of HHS can/can’t do about vaccines - to inform your debates over the turkey. One certainty is that HHS Sec has a bully pulpit - & could decimate public confidence in (safe, effective) vaccines. www.kff.org/policy-watch...

Grateful and hopeful.

Grateful to be a finalist for the @vanurses researcher award! Always wonderful to be with @gwNURSING faculty!

Are you a Spirit fan/soccer fan/sports fan/general human in DC today and looking for a place to watch the NWSL final @fritzhahn.bsky.social has a list for @washingtonpost.com of 10+ (!!!) places around the area where you can catch the game. (Which is on Big CBS at 8!)

An independent @NINR drives nurse-led research that addresses real-world challenges—maternal health disparities, chronic illness, mental health—focusing on whole-person care. NIH restructuring risks losing this vital work. My latest- www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...
